ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico
With AMC’s Breaking Bad series receiving Emmy Award nominations in several categories earlier this month (including Drama Series, Best Actor (Bryan Cranston), Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Anna Gunn) and Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (Aaron Paul)), the Albuquerque CVB has stepped up its marketing efforts centered on the show, which is both filmed and set in town.
The series’ popularity has attracted a new audience of visitors to New Mexico, and showcases the state’s unique beauty.
Attendees and tourists alike can visit filming sites and local companies have introduced show-related products and experiences, including Rebel Donuts, Marble Brewery and Bathing Bad, which offers a cooking class where participants create special Breaking Bad bath salts.
The ABQ Trolley Company also offers a popular 3.5 hour filming location “Bad Tour.”
